Tracks of my chill music, some of which feature ambient and nature sounds set to downtempo RnB, hip hop, Latin, and jazz beats. Sort of ambient chill fusion music.

The Water Collection by SUNNYBECK

Made for fun — Electro Pop at 115-120 bpm that hopefully makes you want to dance 💃🕺💃💃🕺🕺 A light-hearted fun song because Atlanta (A-Town) is fun, y’all — hot and humid 🥵 — but never dull. 

Composed digitally MIDI to DAW via VST instruments, all original, no AI, made by a human 

Available to download (.wav) if anyone feels inspired to collaborate for a remix, adding vocals or whatever. DM me if you prefer MP3.

Home to sports legend Hank Aaron and Braves baseball, southern cooking, tons of historical landmarks — from Centennial Olympic Park to the King Memorial Center — and history-makers, MLK, John Lewis, Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter to name a few, A-Town has neighborhoods of talented minds from all over the world. 

As the American South’s “Ellis Island”, our melting pot of metro neighborhoods makes us ATL strong and welcoming. As home to dozens of colleges and universities, Atlanta acts as a hub for higher education.

Night clubs? And hip hop? Oh yeah, we got that! A-Town is also a huge urban center for LGBTQ folks, so if you’re straight but not narrow, come, dine, and party with us!

MUSIC by SUNNYBECK & J.J. Terrell https://soundcloud.com/j-j-terrell
LYRICS & VOCAL by J.J. Terrell

I am extremely proud of J.J. Terrell, who took a digital composition of acoustic and Dobro slide guitars that I wrote years ago, and fashioned it into a gem worthy of Nashville. He wrote beautiful lyrics to a new melody, sang the lead vocal, added stunning piano, violin, and percussion triangle — all performed by J.J. 

Please give him praise on this one — Rolling Home, a love song with the soul of Southern Rock and sound of Country about a traveler headed home to a beloved. To J.J. 👏👏👏

LYRICS by J.J.
Now the sun’s setting low, painting the sky
The closer I get, I can’t help but sigh
All the pain fades with every mile
Soon, I’ll be home to your loving smile

The porch light’s on, I see you there
Waiting with a heart, so full, so rare
You’re my song, my heartbeat’s tune
Rolling home, I’ll be there soon

Rolling home, through the thunder and rain
Each mile a memory, each turn brings the pain
I’m counting the hours, 
Til I hold you tight
Rolling home
Back to your light

Rolling Home

I had recorded an early demo of this tune in the 1990s on a TEAC 4-track cassette recorder playing a Yamaha steel string and later added classical guitar parts. Sadly I lost that tape. So I’ve reconstructed it digitally with new arrangements using my Akai keyboard or scoring it directly into my DAW editor.

A lot of synth guitars and keyboards set to hip hop beats at 85 bpm.

Crystal River Rain

A proposed soundtrack that uses the sounds of jazz to convey car horns, sudden stops, traffic that first crawls and then speeds, with scurrying pedestrians, splashes, and the tapping of windshield wipers.

I wrote this 12 years ago when I had the ambition to produce a short film. There's still no movie, but I've updated the music to a very chill 69 bpm for a jazzy Rainy Commute — something to enjoy while the traffic rushes by on a gloomy, wet day.

Rainy Commute

Country acoustic meets hip hop meets techno bass meets a chill 65 bpm in an atmospheric instrumental soundtrack for a foggy ferry crossing.

When fog rolls in, people are happy that the old ferry captain knows the river crossing very well. Thick fog doesn’t stop arrivals and departures on the Fog Bottom Ferry, a fictional name for a ferry that, as a passenger, I also knew very well.

The image of the ferry deck in my cover art doesn’t look like the ferry I took. My Fog Bottom Ferry served a small river town that carried about a dozen cars. To me, its engine sounded similar to a tugboat motor, and was the inspiration for the hip hop beats.

Hope you enjoy a little atmospheric instrumental countryhop 🤠

Smooth jazz with songbirds at a chill 85 bpm 

Composed digitally MIDI to DAW via VST instruments, all original, no AI, made by a human

When the magnolias bloom, it’s time to pour a favorite beverage, maybe a cuppa at daybreak, and enjoy the songbirds nestled in the trees overlooking the white petals of mid-spring magnolia.

Summer lurks around the corner, but it can wait! Chirpy melodies, cool morning breezes, and sumptuous magnolias, their blossoms swaying in the wind, set the pace. I think of it as Magnolia time — take it easy even when a busy day says no. Chill out. Tune in. And everything will work out. Stop and smell the roses. Or the blossom of magnolia.

Magnolia

In the family of water lilies, Nelumbo nucifera or the lotus flower is also known as the sacred lotus because it symbolizes qualities such as purity, rebirth, enlightenment, longevity, and resiliency. In muddy swamplands the lotus has thrived for more than a thousand years, producing beauty in the midst of muck. 

I hope you enjoy my lotus-inspired tribute of a powerful symbol of overcoming adversity and relentless creativity.

Set at a hypnotic 83 bpm, I’ve included a mix of sounds — a little synthpop, jazz, R&B, Latin, neoclassical, and definitely chill. 

P.S. One of the ancient Sanskrit names for Lotus 🪷 is Kamala. ❤️😀✌️

Tightrope

Sometimes a timeout is necessary, to pause, regroup, and refresh if only for a few minutes. Put up a Do Not Disturb sign. Open a window and let a pleasant distraction offered by songbirds calm the mind. Then resume forward march when ready. Hopefully, time is on your side. If not, seize a moment when you can. 💙

Memory

Tulips, bicycles, canals, history, fine art, DJs, and most of all the Dutch people make Amsterdam and the Netherlands a place I could easily call home. 

But Amsterdam is more than a place to me — it’s a symbol of the joy of finding community, of sharing and thriving with people who support one another. Hopefully you can do that right where you live. Or here on SoundCloud. We are "stronger together" is more than a trite slogan because it is a mathematical fact. So let’s take a joyful trip and dance as if everyone applauds your moves.

Amsterdam

A little old school jazz — piano, keyboard, guitar, bass, and drums, but with an electronic drum kit — all of which was produced using MIDI keyboard, plug-ins, and DAW. Originally created in GarageBand in 2011, but updated this week.

COVER ART that features a grand piano was inspired by J.J. Terrell and Neno J. who alerted me about the 10th anniversary of Piano Day, March 29, 2025. Check out their Piano Day releases:

Cool Breeze

Last spring, I had a jazzy musical interaction with songbirds to produce Magnolia. This spring, I explore the genre of jazz once again but this time with a mockingbird.

A few weeks ago, I recorded a mockingbird singing a jazzy serenade a cappella from his perch on my neighbor's chimney. And oh my! The bird sang like he was the hot new kid on the block, and the whole neighborhood had to listen!

The Northern Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) can sing up to 200 different songs, some of which are original and others mimic the sounds of other birds and creatures, including insects and machines. 

I added electro — keyboard, piano, bass, and electronic drum kits — to the mockingbird audio recording using my MIDI and DAW, and I hope you find the music as amusing and entertaining as the jazzy mockingbird’s song.

Chill jazz fusion at 85 bpm

Audio of mockingbird recorded live April 2, 2025. The LoFi audio is raw, unaltered except for cuts to delete car noise and the conversation of neighbors, so that the music wraps around the birdsong.

With props to Harper Lee’s book, To Kill A Mockingbird, whose main character Atticus Finch teaches that it’s a sin to kill mockingbirds because they harm no one with their songs — a symbolic theme of the book — it’s wrong if not evil to attack or destroy innocent people.

“Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy…. they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us.”

Mockingbird

For Earth Day, an electro hymn at a chill 70 bpm

In praise of water 
Created before we 
of land and sea came to be 
Glory to water 
Magic elixir 
Life sustaining 
Half of it containing 
My body 
Fills oceans rivers lakes 
And thirsty tree
Fatefully 
Where it chooses 
Water never loses 

Sacred aquifer
Whose travels blaze 
the paths we sail
To raise a glass of wine
To water!
To living well 
To drink of grapes that streams 
Feed over time 
To the majestic flow 
On and on and on we go 
Like a slave’s escape to liberty 
Wade in the water, children
Set yourself free 

With props to Ramsey Lewis, Wade In The Water, 1966.

Water Hymn

Another track from my upcoming Time Machine EP with music similar to Hidden Room, Time Machine, and Enigma.

An electro atmosphere with pop & hip hop beats at a chill 80 bpm

In contemplation of butterflies — to making the best of every moment of life. 

An original composition, No AI, written MIDI to DAW

…………..
With a lifespan of only two to four weeks, time is precious to butterflies, and it highlights a secret — butterflies possess timekeeping abilities in their antennae. 

They also can track the sun’s position with their eyes, a navigational skill used for migration, and their vision includes ultraviolet light, something humans cannot see. 

Of their many secrets — the sense of taste is in their feet, their wings are dead cells, they have existed for 60 million years, are biologically diverse with 20,000 species, and can fly as fast as 37 MPH or 59 KM/H — the fact that some butterfly species migrate thousands of miles during their short lifetimes is astonishing. 

Short lives necessitate making the best of every moment of life, and perhaps that’s the secret to the longevity of 60 million years of the butterfly species.

Butterfly Secrets

A quiet chill jazz fusion atmosphere perhaps NuJazz with minimal percussion but a throbbing beat and electro, including one synth — a marimba sounding arp like a ticking clock — that I use in this  composition and a few new songs such as Hidden Room. Time Machine is the title track from my upcoming Time Machine EP. 
..................
With respect to H.G.Wells, I daresay that the brain, and more expansively, the mind is the best time machine of the cosmos. In fact, it created the idea of a time machine and discovered the physics that can someday engineer a time travel device. Time itself is a construct or an invention of the mind.

Our minds as time machines can instantly travel to the past — retrieving data about history and the physical world, and experiences from memory as if they happened today. Our minds can also zoom out to the future — conjuring a vision of how the world could look as a mental rehearsal, a daydream, a thought experiment, and a creative process for solving problems and making art. Or building time machines. 

We, humans, may be physically limited but our minds are not. And that gives me hope, even in the midst of chaos.

WORDS that I wrote upon listening to a pre-production mix but they don’t necessarily fit the music. Yet.

Oh
Drift away safely with your head up in the clouds
Yeah drift
Where luscious dreams of a beautiful life are allowed 
Encouraging 
Cosmic lullaby 
Rocking gently 
until you sigh

Drift
Later maybe?
No, commit, baby
Drift drift drift drift 
Drift until your mind shifts 

Nothing can steal your moment 
Remember to keep faith 
letting go to drift will show it 
Wise words sayeth 
As you believe — so go with it
That is how to achieve
Drift 
To know it
Drift 
Go with it

Let yourself flow

ARTIST’S NOTE: 
I composed Drift one afternoon in May when I was literally adrift in disappointment, feeling low, uninspired, and fatigued. Empty. How could I create when I was so low? And a thought rang back answering like a bell  — just show up!

All I had to do, my inner voice told me, was show up, put your fingers on the keyboard for a moment. And I did, using the laptop’s built-in MIDI, selecting a VST called Cinema Strings, instinctively I hit an F6 chord — I have an affinity with the key of F because, as a student, I played French Horn, an F instrument. So I’m pressing the keys, and by a slow count of eight of the metronome’s clicks — bam! The music started playing in my head as if already written. I raced to unravel it in threads of melodies, searching for keys that matched what I was hearing in my mind’s ears.

The lesson for me as an artist is to remember to keep faith despite how I might feel. Because the music is waiting for a humble vessel. Just show up.

ARTIST NOTE: I’m one of those people who has developed a high tolerance for uncertainty, instability I endured in childhood, and because of it, I learned with courage and loving support to harness uncertainty into inspiration, a drive to create.

For me, the unknown is an invitation, as if life has offered me blank canvases upon which to paint. Or a keyboard and computer upon which to express sounds that I hear in my head and heart. That for me, is a Benevolent Enigma, the awesome mystery of why and how something springs forth from what seems like nothing — how beauty emerges out of a barren void  like a rose growing out of a concrete sidewalk.

Enigma

Is it a scary Halloween in July with zero treats and a bagful of disaster?! Everywhere I look in the outside world, countless tragedies, terror, and horror stories run on continuous loop. That’s why, in addition to family illness and death, I took a few months away to explore my inner creative world, where, to quote the psychic medium Tangina from the movie, Poltergeist, “There is peace and serenity in the light.”  🔮😆😜🖤

A proposed soundtrack for a suspense thriller, and a track from the upcoming release of my Time Machine EP. 
 
Electro chill NuJazz with hip hop beats and a touch of tango

I use what I consider a classic hip-hop rhythm for the hi hats that may seem dated, but it’s comforting as a familiar element, me being a fan of Boom Bap, and it adds tension like a pesky fly or a nagging thought. The composition overall is more playful than serious, but sometimes people laugh to keep from crying. Or screaming 😱

Hidden Room

Electronic pop with classical & hip hop influences at a chill 80 bpm (downloadable .wav)

Inspired by Edgar Allen Poe’s pendulum tale and other horror stories — some from history, but unfortunately, most from real life today. Musically, I think of Pendulum as a cathartic hip hop opera scene, painting horror into something musical, treating the VST instruments as if they are soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, and bass voices.

I’m in the middle of writing lyrics hopefully for a future vocal remix. @Rihanna! CALL me, please! 😏🤣🤣🤣 Joking aside, if you’re interested in vocalizing and wish to collaborate, DM me ✨🙏

Here are the opening lyrics that follow the main melody:
014
Back and forth we go
Swinging high and low 
Dare not say a word
Reason can’t be heard
019
Upstairs stands a man
With his right hand 
Turn-ing up the swing span 
027
Back and forth I sway
For another day
Protests go unheard
Stop! It’s too absurd!
034
Upstairs laughs a man
With his right hand 
Spin-ning up his mad plan
[more to come]

In ATL where I live, rainstorms have arrived for the next few days as Hurricane Erin has moved inland. Yet, even on the rainiest of days, the afterglow of music created around firelight lingers like the smoky scent of burnt hickory. In my world, that “firelight” is a computer screen, although in the past I’ve noodled an acoustic guitar around a campfire. Who hasn’t?! 😀

Today, I feel fortunate to enjoy the immense talent and camaraderie of SoundCloud friends. So a song of thanks. Pretend we’re gathered around a campfire for a toast — Here’s to humans making music 🥂🍻 To the goosebump factory! as friend @TheBeautifulDark calls it  ✨🪄And to its afterglow! 🍾 🙏

Afterglow

Chill Nu Jazz, a fusion of jazz, electro, and neoclassical music with throbbing hip hop beats at 85 bpm

The second of three songs including Ripples and yet to release, Harvest Moon, that I wrote between naps while I was in bed with a head cold. I literally fit the description of a bedroom producer 😆

Composed digitally MIDI to DAW via VST instruments, all original, no AI, made by a human

When the state of people of the world seems out of whack, I take comfort in Mother Nature’s equinox, a day when light and darkness are in balance. This year’s equinox occurs on a new moon, a rare event and a symbol for setting intentions for new life with gratitude for blessings already received.

For us living in the top half of the earth, we will see less light until the passage of Winter Solstice. For friends living in the lower half of the planet, may you enjoy the coming of the light until it fully blooms at Summer Solstice. Until then, on the equinox, 22 of September, 2025, we jointly experience an equality of night and day 🌚🌞

While Equinox presents us with equal day and night, the song definitely expresses my personal sadness at the reality of light fading into winter in my half of the world. The diminishing of light also reminds me of Dylan Thomas’ poem, Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night, in which he wrote, “Rage, rage against the dying of the light.” So the music is truthful, and like all personal truths, this, too, will change. And can change as fast as a trip south of the sun-drenched Equator 😀✌️

Equinox

Electro Nu Jazz at a Chill 85 bpm

The last of three songs, including Equinox and yet to release, Harvest Moon, written in past few weeks.

Ripples was inspired by gratitude — never underestimate the short- and long-term impact of kindness. Sometimes we never see the impact, the why something mattered and to whom. I still remember past kindnesses from people that to this day motivate or comfort me. They couldn’t have had the slightest idea — unless they had a crystal ball — to foresee how important their acts of kindness would matter to me later in life. So 🙏

Lyrically, a question is not asked, but is implied in the song:

Who dat knockin’ at my door?
Do you bring a blessin’ or a chore?

The Harvest Moon
Excerpt from a poem by Ted Hughes

"The flame-red moon, the harvest moon,
Rolls along the hills, gently bouncing,
A vast balloon,
Till it takes off, and sinks upward
To lie on the bottom of the sky, like a gold doubloon."

Harvest Moon is a symbol of abundance, gratitude, and the balance between light and dark of the autumn equinox. The 2025 Harvest Moon, this year’s first Supermoon of the Northern Hemisphere, reaches full illumination on Monday, October 6, 11:47 PM ET. 🌕

With props to jazz flugelhorn player and composer Chuck Mangione, RIP (November 29, 1940 – July 22, 2025)


ARTIST NOTE: I attempt (and fail) on a regular basis to satisfy an artistic curiosity — What if classical composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach wrote jazz music using a DAW with electronic drum kits? 🤔😯 Even when I fail, usually something comes out of the effort 😀

An original composition, no AI, digital music created MIDI to DAW by a human

HOUR GLASS
I have an hour glass in my mind 
It measures life in bits of time 
Like TikTok videos
Showing how the sand flows 
All in a trickle 
Dancing Wu-Li masters remind
The consequence of time 

While the force of gravity 
can bring me to my knees 
The hour glass remains to hold
Above and below 
Before and behind 
Carry me forever
In the consequence of time

Hour Glass

Cast of Characters:

J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ, synth and composition
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – custom five string fretless bass and PRS SE semi-hollowbody electric guitar
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
Sunnybeck-- @sunnybeck — Beck — synth and MIDI composition
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Tom Anderson custom T model electric wah guitar
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — vocals and lyrics
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – production, mix, and mastering

This song began as a looper beat that Josh created in BandLab. He does that often to start an idea. However, this beat sat on the shelf for almost a year, until he shared it with JJ for one of his Saturday night music sessions. JJ put an arrangement on it with his organ and bass. Josh quickly replaced the bass idea with his own version of it, though.

Now it was Ken's turn to replace the dull looper beat with something alive and organic, which he did in the most creative and solid way possible. We had a skeleton now, and it was time to share it with Beck, with whom this is Eclectic Collective's first song. She added her magic via the synth you hear sprinkled throughout. Stephen weighed in next with his funky wah guitar. Josh then wrapped things up by adding the simple, melodic guitar lines your hear throughout.

It was almost done at this point, but of course, we wanted Carl to add his greatness to it, as well, which he did by writing and singing some compelling vocals. He took the working title, which Josh came up with having just read The Odyssey, and wrote a whole song about it! The Odyssey, of course, is the ancient Greek story of a warrior, sailor, and displaced king who survives many perils on his epic quest to regain his kingdom.

Once it was all laid down, we asked Tez to do his expert work with the mix and production, which he did perfectly, as always. We're very lucky to have two very talented producers in the group, and grateful to Tez for ironing this one out for us.

This is, as mentioned, the EC's first go round with Beck, and we couldn't be more thrilled to work with her. Not only is she a skilled, creative musician, but she is a delightful ray of sunlight to work with, too. We have another collab with her we plan to release in the coming weeks, as well. There will be more to follow. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Hold on dear crew
Cruel winds fly north
Our tenth foul day
Land found fresh worth
Untameable sea
We survived people
Ashore
Fresh water
Food
Lessen our feeble

Three of company
Greet these inhabitants
Find what land lends their habitance
Trio arrive and find not hurt
Then found local food
Good offering flirty

Three watered mouths by nicest taste
Who needs home
We stay
No haste
Love lotus buds
Don’t mind the captain
Let’s stay and munch this tuck of trapping

Captain bemused All aboard!
No more shall eat this food mind sword
What of home!
What of love!
Weep not dear three
Cold turkey tough

Smite that sea
Hold tight your oars
Now heave to Ithaca
South-westwards
Bye Lotus eaters
Trip like land
Love lesson lives
Myth mystery scanned

Isle of the Lotus Eaters (Eclectic Collective with Sunnybeck)

Another fun collaboration with the Eclectic Collective 🫶

Cast of Characters:
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick four-string fretless bass, PRS SE semi-hollow body electric guitar, Sigma acoustic guitar, lyrics, vocals, and composition
SunnyBeck-- @sunnybeck — Beck — synth and MIDI composition
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – production, mix, and mastering

This is a love song written about Josh's favorite band, Phish. He came up with the chords on his acoustic guitar, and shared it with the group. This was written with Beck in mind, though, too, as he knew she'd be contributing her magic to this one, too. Even when it was just the acoustic guitar set to a looper beat, she came up with many of the parts you hear throughout. Although, she also readjusted and redid a lot of it, too, throughout the process. Ken was the next piece of the puzzle to jump in. He laid down his perfect drums beats to it in only one or two tries, giving it the groove it needed. After Ken laid down the beat, that allowed Josh to add his bass to the mix, too. It was almost done musically, but it needed a lead guitar, which Josh also put in there. Before it was finished, though, JJ weighed in with his clever organ, which can be heard from about 2:30 on. When it was all wrapped up musically, Josh sang his lyrics, which are written from the perspective of two Phish heads conversing about the imminent Phish show, which is always a big, exciting event. 

Josh has seen almost 70 Phish shows in his life, and he hopes his adoration for the band is evident in this song. This is the second song Eclectic Collective have done with Beck, and we all hope for many more, too. She's a fantastic musician, with a wonderfully deep well of creativity. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. 

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:

Are you gonna meet me at the show tonight
Am I gonna see you at the show?
What songs do you think they’ll play tonight?
I’ve been waiting all year to go

You should check out last night’s set list
The show was packed with killer songs
Is there any one that you’ve been chasing?
I love it when the crowd all sings along
 
Trey’s been stirring up all the great jams
Page rules the keyboards from his throne
Mike digs the groove so deep and he stands
On Fishman’s beats that shake our bones
 
Hope you have your ticket for the show tonight
I know these days they’re on our phones
At least now about grass there’s no fight
Light a joint on up the hill and feel at home

Some spun wook is always tripping
Looking for profundity in all the songs
Every now and then they have to just stop spinning 
Stare at the lights, and sing along

So I know we’ll hear some great things tonight
Every time I go, my mind gets blown
After in the lot I know I’ll eat a grilled cheese, 
Suck on a balloon, then drive on home

Trading Mics For Fish Pages-Eclectic Collective with Sunnybeck

Nu Jazz that’s Chill with Neoclassical touches, some blues notes, and audio of songbirds, all driven by conga rhythms at 75 bpm. Written in the past week, a continuation of similar themes created in the past few months. An original composition, no AI, digital music created MIDI to DAW by a human.

I live in the Northern Hemisphere, where the sunlight wanes into the shortest day and the longest night on winter solstice. In this November song — in follow up to my Equinox song — I express the month’s gradual descent into darkness as daylight recedes to the increase of night.

The good news is that we know how the story ends; the light begins regaining its strength on the day after winter solstice. So there’s hope based on empirical evidence — scientific, objective reality that you can rely upon, thank goodness! 😀

………………………………………
NOVEMBER: A DESCENT INTO DARKNESS 
If I could translate the musical narrative into words, the following is what it would say.

The birds know winter is coming.
They rendezvous to flee 
like embers of a dying flame.
Autumn wind claws leaves, 
a lion untamed.
All tell stories of fading light.
Stretch, they cry, towards the setting orb.
Reach upward to compel
one last flapping 
golden sail 
slipping the horizon 
waving pale.
Away!
The end of one more day 
closer, inching sunlight retreats 
as it silently 
unceremoniously greets,
the longest dark of night.
Keep knits wrapped tight!
No frost bite.
Descent toward solstice, 
prepare the bonfire’s bed.
Rest and reflect.
Pause the scroll of dread.
Sugar-plums dance in the head.
On the other side of surrender 
to darkness comes gain
the glorious reign 
of the light 
when sunrise breaks 
again.

November

Nu Jazz Chill that leans into bluesy funk with playful melodies and percussion at 92 bpm

An original digital composition, no AI, written MIDI to DAW by a human 

One of my favorite things about December is its Geminid meteor showers. Unfortunately I missed this year's showers, but I have experienced meteors up close from a mountaintop as speeding balls of light whooshed by — they sang a hissing hum as they flew within a thousand yards overhead. Through a cloudy mist I saw spectacular white fireballs ranging in size from that of lemons to as big as footballs 😃

The Geminid meteor showers originate from the asteroid 3200 Phaethon. According to the American Meteor Society, “Geminids are often bright and intensely colored. Due to their medium-slow velocity, persistent trains are not usually seen.” They travel at a medium speed of 35 km/second ☄️🫨

A Jackson College announcement for a December 13, 2025, Geminids Watch Party described the occasion as “one of the most active and reliable annual meteor showers, producing up to 120 bright, fast meteors per hour under ideal conditions. First observed in the mid-1800s with just a handful of meteors per hour, the Geminids have grown into a major celestial event known for their vibrant yellow streaks lighting up the winter sky.” 🎇

He “adapted Felix Mendelssohn’s secular music from Festgesang to fit the lyrics” that Charles Wesley had written.

Santa Pause

I love making music that soothes, inspires, and rejuvenates. Downtempo, chilled Lo-fi, non-AI music set to hip hop, pop, and jazz beats. Lover of Boom Bap.

My creative journey began as a visual artist, and now I'm concentrating my energy into creating music that can instantly impact minds and moods for the better. 

Almost all of my music is chill @ -100 bpm to hopefully stimulate calm and feelings of well-being in listeners as it does for me. 💙

I don’t use AI or samples. My music is original, digital, and composed using a MIDI keyboard and DAW. I also record live LoFi audio of ambient sounds such as birdsongs or rainstorms using an iPhone or a microphone connected to laptop.

I’ve been called Rebecca of Sunnybrook like the children’s book because of my birth name but call me Beck like my friends do. I chose Sunnybeck to use as my nickname as I’m an eternal optimist and love the sun.
